Comparison of moped, scooter and motorcycle crash risk and crash severity.
The increased popularity of mopeds and motor scooters in Australia and elsewhere in the last decade has contributed substantially to the greater use of powered two-wheelers (PTWs) as a whole. As the exposure of mopeds and scooters has increased, so too has the number of reported crashes involving those PTW types, but there is currently little research comparing the safety of mopeds and, particu...
متن کاملCrash Prediction on Rural Roads
Historical data confirm that rural roadways carry less than half of America’s traffic but account for the majority of the nation’s vehicular deaths. According to NHTSA, Wyoming has the highest crash fatality rate in the nation with a reported 2009 road death rate of 24.6 per 100,000 population, more than twice the national average of 11.0. High speed two-lane rural roads are believed to contrib...
متن کاملAutomatic Motorcycle Detection on Public Roads
Motorcycle accidents have been rapidly growing throughout the years in many countries. Due to various social and economic factors, this type of vehicle is becoming increasingly popular. Over the past years, automated mechanisms to inspect traffic violations such as radars and surveillance cameras are being used ever more. This paper’s goals are the study and implementation of some methods for a...
متن کاملApplicability of models to estimate traffic noise for urban roads
BACKGROUND Traffic noise is a highly relevant environmental impact in cities. Models to estimate traffic noise, in turn, can be useful tools to guide mitigation measures. In this paper, the applicability of models to estimate noise levels produced by a continuous flow of vehicles on urban roads is investigated. The aim is to identify which models are more appropriate to estimate traffic noise i...
متن کاملTrends in the Motorcycle Crash Problem
Motorcycle safety was a prominent public and political issue during the 1980s largely because of the dramatic increase in the number of deaths and injuries occurring at that time, commensurate with the growth in the number of vehicles and licensed riders (Simpson and Mayhew 1991). Since then, deaths and injuries have declined steadily and, as a consequence, motorcycle safety has become a relati...
